Sheathed strip (composite sandwich with wood strip core) is easier (quicker less skill needed) and cheaper than foam strip. Its lighter and cheaper than cold molded, probably quicker too
I prefer a sandwich hull, this one gets a lot of glass. Outside skin actually will have just about the same glass schedule if it were a foam core boat.
